HE hits the big 8-0 next week and Sir Mick Jagger is holding the mother of all parties to celebrate.
I can reveal the Rolling Stones rocker has hired the entirety of the posh Chelsea Physic Garden in South West London to hold an enormous bash with his friends and family later this month.

A source said: “Turning 80 is a huge milestone for anyone and Mick wants to make sure he throws a party no one will ever forget.
“It is taking place later this month and he’s spending thousands on making it absolutely perfect.
“The location ended up being a bit of an issue as Mick has an enormous guest list of more than 300 people, and finding the right place has been hard.
“He has now hired out the whole Physic Garden and will be having his celebrations there.
“It is going to be a very classy affair and it will be like a who’s who of the music and entertainment world.”
Chelsea Physic Garden was established in 1673 to grow plants to be used as medicines.
Now run by a charity trust, the four-acre site is one of the oldest botanical gardens in Britain and opened to the public in 1983.
The source continued: “All of Mick’s bandmates — Ronnie Wood, Keith Richards and Darryl Jones — are invited, along with Mick’s other celebrity pals.
“There will be a lavish drinks reception with beautiful food. He’s pulled out all the stops.”
It is likely Mick’s former bandmate Bill Wyman will also be invited, given he recently returned to the band after three decades to help them work on their next album, dedicated to late drummer Charlie Watts.
Charlie died from throat cancer in August 2021 at the age of 80.
A source said: “Bill hasn’t seen the band together for years, but always loved Charlie.
“This record is really a tribute to Charlie, so he couldn’t say no.”
Bill flew to LA to help work on the album, which will be the Stones’ first since Grammy-winning Blue & Lonesome in 2016.
They’ll be raising a toast to Charlie that night, I’m sure.

VICK HOPE’S parents must be a fan of her fiancé Calvin Harris as they flew out to Ibiza and stayed up until the early hours just to see him DJ.
The Radio 1 star whisked her mum Ady and dad Nigel off to the White Isle and took them to megaclub Ushuaia for the Scottish star’s residency there.

The trio were captured living it up by Vick’s presenter pal AJ Odudu, who is also on holiday in Ibiza.
Given Vick and Calvin are set to tie the knot in the coming months, her parents had better get used to partying.
I doubt the wedding reception will be a quiet affair.
OLLY WALKS DOWN ISLE
OLLY MURS is a married man – and probably a very tired one, too – after a two-day wedding.
The Heart Skips A Beat singer tied the knot with bodybuilder Amelia Tank on the private Osea Island in Essex on Saturday in front of 60 friends and family.

But he then invited 100 more pals along yesterday for a festival-themed party.
It was dubbed Murs Fest and among those attending was Mark Wright, who shared a selfie with the groom.
To celebrate the occasion, the couple also had a plane fly over with a banner reading “Olly & Amelia – just married”.
They erected a glass marquee with chandeliers for the big day, with the pop star spending thousands to make sure everything went without a hitch.
The island has a star-studded past, as Rihanna, Jessie J and George Ezra have all recorded music there, with Stormzy renting it out to make his last album This Is What I Mean.
No doubt Olly brought a fair few more showbiz pals there.
ED’S UNVEILS GUEST EM
ED SHEERAN was joined on stage by his childhood hero Eminen during his show in Detroit on Saturday.
He started singing the rapper’s 2002 song Lose Yourself at Ford Field before Eminem himself walked out to perform it with him.

Afterwards, Ed told the crowd: “Can I just say one thing – he was going to come on and do one song.
“I said, ‘You can’t come on in Detroit and just do one song’. Do you want another song?”
They went on to play the 2000 hit Stan, with Ed singing Dido’s parts.

THE man behind the Charlie And The Chocolate Factory prequel Wonka has admitted he ate so much of the sweet stuff on set that he put on 3.5st.
Paul King, who directed and co-wrote the movie, revealed they had a top chocolatier on set but said leading man Timothee Chalamet resisted the urge to overindulge.
Speaking about making the movie, which is released in December, he explained: “I think I’ve gained about 50 pounds, but I hope I can lose it before it comes out.
“It’s a miracle that Timmy remains so slim and handsome. I’m trying to fatten him up, but it’s hard to do.”
Quizzed on how much choc the team ate on set, he said it was “a great deal”
He continued: “We had this incredible chocolatier.

The pregnant singer wore this pink shirt over a swimsuit, along with matching shades, during a day out relaxing in Ibiza.
She has been joined on the trip by model husband Oliver Chesire, after admitting they were desperate to get away before the baby arrives later this year.
In an article for Vogue last month, she wrote: “I’ve been lucky enough to feel good throughout my pregnancy so far. I escaped very lightly in terms of sickness – there was just a lot of tiredness in the early stages.
“The baby is due in September, so now I’m signing myself up for all the fun things.
“I just had a lymphatic drainage pregnancy massage, and I’m having my first reflexology session this week. I’m taking my supplements.
“We’re also making sure to do the things we might not be able to when the baby comes.
“We will absolutely be squeezing in a babymoon.”
NATHAN MUSIC’S COOKIN’
NATHAN DAWE’s 0800 Heaven became his latest Top Ten hit on Friday and there are plenty more tunes to come.
The DJ has admitted he neglected his music career in order to become a business mogul – launching a restaurant in Staffordshire and a nightclub on the Greek island of Zante – but now he is getting back to bangers.

Nathan told me: “I stupidly decided to open a restaurant in my hometown this year as well, so I’ve been pretty hectic. I’ve been all over the place.
“I’ve took a lot on and it’s been a very, very stressful year getting it ready and set up.
“Now it’s up and running so I’m done with my investments for now.
“I’m relieved they’ve gone to plan. In the future I’d love to branch out and make Isabel’s, my restaurant, a chain.
“But for now it’s just focusing solely on music again for the next few years.”
With an Ibiza residency and UK festival shows this summer, he’s certainly not taking it easy.

MARGOT ROBBIE “bribed” Barbie co-star Ryan Gosling to play Ken, by promising him daily gifts.
She admitted: “I just bribed him, really.
“That’s the basis of our relationship – ‘Just come do the Barbie movie, I’ll buy you a present every day’.”
Ryan added: “There was suddenly this pink present from Barbie to Ken, every day, for a very long shoot.
“It felt unsustainable. I thought this has to stop at some point. There were times on set where I got a puka shell necklace.
“Thank you very much. You don’t have to keep doing this.”
Ryan was worried Margot was spending too much time on his gifts.
He continued: “I’m sure you have other things to do, like produce a movie star in a movie, run a company, produce other films.
“You don’t have to keep concerning yourself with this.”
RITA ORA is getting pout and about to make sure her third album is a hit.
She posed with the vinyl for her record You & I at a signing in HMV Birmingham at the weekend following its release on Friday.

The Hot Right Now singer is hoping to hit the Top Ten this week but faces stiff competition from a raft of new records from the likes of J Hus, Disclosure And Mahalia.
In a message to fans following the signing, where she wore this white crop top and blue tracksuit, she said: “Thank you to everyone who came out to the signings and all of you who bought the vinyls.
“It means the world to me.
“I really hope you love the music. It’s so nice to be back and to reconnect with you all.”
CLAIRE’S SUCH A QUIZZY BEE
YOU probably see Steps singer Claire Richards on telly even more than you hear the group’s tunes – as she admits she is addicted to contesting quiz shows.
The singer is now struggling to find any she hasn’t been on.
13
She told me: “I’ve discovered this absolute obsession with game shows and quizzes.
“I’ve made it my mission to do as many as I possibly can – mostly to try and raise money for Marie Curie because I’m an ambassador for them.
“I absolutely love it.”
But telling how she is running of of ones to go on, she added: “We either need to invent some more quiz shows or maybe I have to start doing them in other countries.”
Claire will release her second solo album, Euphoria, next month and it includes covers of songs by Whitney Houston and Cher.
She said: “When we were talking about it, we were just getting so excited.
“Then I had to record them and was thinking, ‘Oh my God, this is actually quite hard.’ The next bit was putting the setlist together and thinking, I am actually going to have to sing a lot of very big songs in one go. I certainly haven’t made it easy.”
